We hope there will now be pressure on the society to reform and change and address all of the very serious issues that we have identified."Over the years the Spanish Society has been shrouded in controversies, scams and large scale frauds. In 2011 the headquarters of SGAE was raided for the first time. Back in 2017, 18 people were arrested at the Spanish Society's Madrid headquarters for their suspected involvement in a scam in which members had falsely claimed ownership of public-domain classical compositions by Mozart, Vivaldi and other composers and had registered them in their own names as well as those of their parents, children and pets. After La Rueda scam was uncovered, the Spanish authorities subsequently raided the headquarters once again and arrested members of SGAE. In a recent court ruling, CNMC - the Supreme court of Spain approved a €3.1 million ($3.5 million) fine against SGAE. After finding out that SGAE had continued their old ways and engaged in “single and continued infringement” of free competition and existing European Union law, the CNMC was left with no choice but to fine the Spanish Society this time around €2.95 million ($3.3 million). The matter came into spotlight after Unison and Dama, a collecting society and an audiovisual authors’ rights group, respectively, filed complaints about the Spanish society's behavior.
